The ‘taste’ is mucho bettero!............Animal fat vs vegetable fat.................

My mom always made Mincemeat pies for meals at either Thanksgiving or Christmas, or both.

With 8 kids she made the simple kind, with the Mincemeat filling from a jar - which does not contain meat, just everything else. She did, as do I, make her own pie crust from scratch. I usually make one or two Mincemeat pies around the Thanksgiving and/or Christmas.

As with my siblings when I was young, and still, and with my family now, some do not like the Mincemeat pies at all, while some, like me, really like them.

When I was very young, about three or four, a much older brother would always tell us that Mincemeat was made from chopped up little “minces”, which he would say were like mice. Somehow it never kept us from trying mom’s Mincemeat pies.

Thank you for the Klondike Kat reference.
